I have declared a stack of integer array -
Stack<int[]> stack = new Stack<int[]>();
When I am pushing an object to stack using following code, I am getting an error -
stack.push({0,0});
But it works when I use the following code -
stack.push(new int[]{0,0});
So I am bit confused why the first way did not work. Does {0,0} not declare a new array object which can be pushed on the stack?
Just using the braces {0,0} doesn't by itself create and initialize a new array. You may be confused by the following syntax that makes this look like it's possible.
int[] someArray = {0, 0};
This syntax allows just the braces, and not the new int[] before it, only when it's part of a declaration. You don't have a declaration, so it's invalid syntax. Without a declaration, the new int[] part is required.
Try this:
stack.push(new int[] {0,0});
or,
int[] array = {0, 0} // creates a new array
stack.push(array);
Because, only {0, 0} does not create any new array, that's why you get errors.
